Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Nov. at, 1913.

Application filed December 16, 1912. Serial No. 737,063.

1 '0 all whom it may concern Be it known that I, DANIEL T. Qmcnar, a citizen of the United States, residing at North Platte, in the county of Lincoln and State of Nebraska, have invented a new and useful Rectum-Bottle, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates to a device for dispensing liquids and more particularly to rectum bottles.

The object is to provide a device of the above class in which the ordinary flask or bottle is replaced by what will be termed a vacuum bottle, by which is meant a bottle of double walls with a vacuum therebetween as devised by Dewar and sometimes called Dewars bulb or flask.

A further object is to so design the bottle cork so the latter will prevent any and all kinking of the catheter tube at the point it is attached to the cork or bottle stopper.

W'ith the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes in the precise embodiment of the invention herein disclosed, can be made within the scope of what is claimed, without departing from the spirit of the invention.

In the drawings accompanying this specification and forming a part thereof, the preferable form of my invention is illustrated, in which Figure 1 is a cross sectional view of my device. Fig. 2 is an end view thereof.

Referring to the drawings in which similar reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views, 1 is a vacuum bottle into the end of which is placed the bottle stopper 2. The stopper 2 is preferably made of cork or some similar substance and is provided with the approximately frusto-conical opening 3 extending therein. A bore 4 communicates with said opening 3 and extends through the stopper.

those known as baby catheter tubes. The edges 5 of the opening 4 have been illustrated as being slightly difi'erent than the other portions of the stopper, this is to represent the fact that the opening 4 is burnt therein rather thanvcut. By so forming the opening 1 a porous layer of material is formed around the edge of the said opening which will allow air to pass therethrough but will prevent the passage of a liquid therethrough.

In the practical-use of my improved rectum bottle, a suitable liquid solution is heated and placed within the vacuum bottle 1, which is adapted to keep said liquid in a heated condition. The stopper is then positioned within the open end of said bottle and the catheter tube inserted within the rectum. The bottle is inverted and slightl elevated, the liquid will flow out of the tube and air will get into the bottle through the porous layer 5. The frusto-conical opening 3 prevents the tube 8 from being kinked adjacent the flange 7 The entire device is eliicient in its action and may be put to other uses than that just described.

Having thus fully disclosed the construction and operation of my improved device, What I claim to be new and original with me is 1. In a device of the class described, a receptacle, a stopper therefor, a tube extending through said stopper, a zone of material surrounding said tube which under normal conditions allows the passage of air and prevents the passage of a liquid therethrough.

2. In a device of the class described, a bottle, a stopper therefor, a dispensing tube extending through a bore in said stopper, and means surrounding said tube which under normal conditions of pressure prevents liquid and allows the passage of air therethrough.

3. The combination of a receptacle, a stopper therefor, a tube extending therethrough, a zone of material extending through said stopper of such stereochemic structure as to allow for the passage of air and prevent the passage of a liquid therethrough under normal conditions.

1. In a device of the class described, a receptacle, a stopper therefor, an opening extending through said stopper, a tube extending through said opening, a zone of material extending through said stopper of such molecular structure to allow the ingression of air and preventing the escapement of a liquid under normal conditions, and a catheter tube communicating with said tube,

5. The combination of a receptacle, a cork stopper therefor, said stopper provided with a burnt opening extending therethrough, a tube fitting Within said opening and extending therethrough, the zone of burnt corl'r under normal conditions allowing for the ingression of #111 and preventing the escape- V ment of a liquid.

6. The combination of a bottle, a heat insulating medium therearound, a cork stopper therefor, said stopper provided with a Copies of this patentfmay 'be obtained m burnt; opening extending therethrough, a glass tube fitting Within said opening and extending through said stopper, the zone of burnt cork under normal conditions allowing for the ingression of air and preventing the escapernent of the liquid contents of the said bottle, and a catheter tube communieating with the said glass tube.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of tWo witnesses.
